Does anyone else have full access to the play store without connecting via VPN?

I received the $25US credit when I got my nexus 7. I now only have $0.34 of this left. By having a $US balance I was able to connect to the US with a vpn connection on my PC and download the daily free music track without the need to register a US credit card.

I have been doing this daily for about 4 months. In the past couple of weeks I have noticed that when I go to the play store without the VPN i have full access to Music, movies etc. This is also the case on my android devices.

If I log out of my google account and go back to the play store I only get the NZ apps only version.

By the looks of it as I was connecting to the store via the US for so long it has defaulted?

Gooseybhai: Why would you need to use VPN to use the playstore (sorry for being ignorant in advance)? My phone has the playstore app and I can also simply just goto the playstore website and download away !

I dont think im restricted to just NZ apps... there aint many NZ apps !

NZ doesn't see the full site where you can purchase music, movies, TV shows and hardware devices

This is what I get now. Compare it to yours. NZ is a bit ripped off with content.

myopinion: You can setup Google Music IN NZ...just use the VPN when setting up per device. Then going forwards you dont need the VPN anymore. I've uploaded over 4000 sounds just like iTunes match but FREE :)

True enough and that's what I have done ever since Google Music was out in beta. But I am sure without the VPN you cannot purchase any music.
